In all likelihood, you’re standing in your New York City apartment right now, one hand in against your fridge and another on your bed, with your leg in your bathroom — like a sick game of tiny apartment Twister. But if size is preventing you from homebrewing (and size does matter), you may want think about 1 gallon brewing.

Erica and Stephen of Brooklyn Brew Shop will be solving all your brewing problems with their Apartment Brewing class at 3rd Ward on Wednesday, September 8 from 7-10pm. They’ll be instructing first timers on the benefits of brewing on a 1 gallon kit (yield: about 12 bottles). Cost is $25 for members or $35 for nonmembers and registration ends September 3rd.

As it’s the first of the month, you probably just wrote out a giant check for your tiny apartment. Remember that 1 gallon brewing is infinitely cheaper than a normal 5 gallon batch. All you need is the kit, a large stew pot and a funnel.
